Lester Senior Housing Community

I found Lester Senior Housing Community, and I'm on a waiting list because I want a two-bedroom. The layout of the apartment was nice, and the staff was excellent. They had a lovely library, a very nice sitting area, and people waiting for activities. It would be nice if they had a swimming pool.

Say away from this place. Administration is uncaring. The nursing staff gave my .92yr old mom an overdose of meds resulting in hospitalization and causing permanent damage. Andnd while .in .hospital and 2days before discharge told us she could not return.This left us scrambling for another place. The director of facility refused to give us an itemized monthly bill as promised when we signed contract.,leaving us unable to submit to our LTC insurance provider for reimbursement. She also had the nerve to say to me” why did you buy LTC insurance it’s garbage”.

Tried to have my parents become residents and it was a nightmare. The bulk of the administrative staff is incompetent, at best, unsympathetic and totally disorganized.

Not what it used to be. My mom is there now for the past 3 years; tremendous turnover in staff the past 12 months; even Alex the Director left; activities are minimal on the Assisted Living side; almost a movie every night; food is average at best; had two burglaries of jewelry in the past 9 months; it's sad; it used to be great

Lester Senior Housing Community was wonderful. Everything about it was what I want. They have an assisted living in another building. If you need it, they have medical assistance for you. They provide two meals a day five days a week. They have tremendous activities including a special room for arts and crafts and for painting and sculpture, which was what my husband liked. It has an exercise room. It has everything we want except for the swimming pool. I love what they have there but their one-bedroom apartments were not feasible for us. Their one-bedroom apartment was just about the size of my computer room here in my house. I cannot live in a room that small. I'd get claustrophobic. It was too small for what I need.

Lester Senior Housing Community was a very nice community. Their residents were very active. However, the facility was expensive and residents would only have two meals a day Monday through Friday. They did not have meals on the weekend. The residents can cook for themselves as they were in independent living. However, another part of this community was the assisted living facility. I had learned that even after you were living here for five years and when you run out of money, they did not take Medicaid. I asked them, 'What do you do with the people especially those who had no family?' They said, 'Well, they go to a nursing home.' 'So you just throw them out?' 'Yes.' Just like that, after they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars living in their community, they'll just throw them out. They only had one or two Medicaid rooms and those were for either assisted living side or the independent living side. That was so not acceptable. For that reason, I would not recommend this community.
